Trick or Treat hand drawn/handpainted due October 18th

For this swap I want to see the kids in their Halloween costumes out trick or treating.
Make them cute or make them creepy, its up to you.

Card Rules-
1. All cards must be completely hand drawn or hand painted, embellishments are not allowed.
2. Cards must be correctly sized with straight edges 2.5 x 3.5 inches, make sure that they are neither flimsy, or extra thick. Please check and measure your cards before sending, (it is harder to rectify these problems after I have received your cards).
3. Cards must be fully coloured (no white backgrounds)
4. Please include your username, real name and the swap name on the back of your cards along with any other info you wish to add.
5. Host cards are not required but will be treasured should you wish to include one.
6. Where possible I will exchange effort for effort and like for like cards to the best of my ability and dependant on cards received.

Postage info1. The due date is 18th October. Please be mindful that I am in the UK so allow plenty of time for posting to me. Any late cards will be returned to senders.
2. Please pm me when you are ready for my address to send your cards.
3. Please package your cards carefully to ensure they reach me undamaged, and send in individual plastic ATC sleeves. I will need a large return address label or piece of paper with your address on it, I will supply my own envelopes.
4. UK players please send either a first or second class stamp for return postage.
International players please send either $2 USA or contact me to pay via paypal.
5. I will post in the thread on receipt of your cards.

Bex, I hope you can give it a few more days! I think it is a great theme (among many Halloween ones right now, as you say). The idea of cute little kids in their costumes appeals to me, and would be the one Halloween swap I would be signing up for. Along with waiting a bit longer to allow for interest to be shown, I might also suggest moving the due date ahead a bit if you can. Maybe Oct. 24? Just thought that might help a bit with this competitive theme. Hope we get some signups and then I will join in too (but it would really help me if the date was later)....

Now Hosting: Oh, You Beautiful Doll! (I have moved! PM before mailing anything.)

Well that's promising if there is just the three of us that is enough for a swap!
I will start the players list with myself and you Fernheart95 if that's ok then.
CiCiCreates I hope you will return, I am reluctant to change the date as I have time off work and I could possibly be going away in October.

I actually prefer drawing people but am challenged by when people want me to draw trees, landscapes or houses in the pat swaps. You are right though you can make this as easy or difficult as you want to. How difficult is a ghost costume?, it would be cool too!

Maybe it is a bit slow getting started as there are a lot of swaps on at the moment. I am going to try and get my own cards done soon to hopefully inspire other.

Here are my first two. The second two are drawn, but not painted yet. I'm glad I figured out my uploading problem. I just needed to adjust the picture size in my camera! (Apparently, it changes itself when it feels like it? I sure don't recall changing it to HUGE!)
